I need to start with the side-note that I'm lactose intolerant, and this drink does have milk chocolate in it (not a Vegan option - if thats your thing). But the reviews were so good, I had to give it a shot. Then found it at the local store. So far so good.

Drank mostly from a Bottle.

Appearance - pours black, like the sky when you're off in the middle of nowhere like Joshua Tree or Durango. Imagine the sky at midnight with no light pollution. This is like that. Off-White/Champagne colored head, disappears quickly.

Mouthfeel - fantastic, smooth, good carbonation level, the drinkablity vs the complexity / smoothness of flavors is really unparalleled in my experience. the 8.3% is masked so well you cannot even taste it.

Appearance – Black with a dark chocolate color around the rim. A light chocolaty colored head. A thick head with fair retention, but not much lacing.

Smell – Lots of coffee and dark chocolate. Almonds and molasses in the background, with just a hint of sweet cherry.

Taste – Tastes even better than it smells. Chocolate, dark roasted coffee and a touch of molasses. Finishes with an oatmeal taste. Don’t drink this too cold – it's much better as it approaches room temp. Delicious!
